Work 8 more rows of dc, dec. one st on each row to correspond with other side
of hat. Continue around hat to half way point on one side.

Tie Directions:

When you are slip stitching to the end like it says to work your tie, I have found that putting the tie in the middle of the band instead of on the end looks one hundred per cent better and seems to keep the hat more secure.

Ch out 75 st for tie, sl st back on chain and continue around hat to other
side. Repeat ch out 75 for tie. sl st back. Tie off.

Make chain to tie curls. Ch 30 with separate piece of yarn.
Tie up curls and add two pom poms on top of curls.
